THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, The Zanett Securities

to time during the period specified in Section 2 hereof, _____________ (_______)
fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's common stock, par value
$.01 per share ("Common Stock"), at an exercise price per share equal to $2.825
(the "Exercise Price"); provided, however, that following the occurrence of an
Event of Default (as defined in the Note (as defined below)) under the Note, the
Exercise Price shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the Exercise Price which
would have been in effect on the date of exercise hereof but for the operation
of this proviso and (ii) the lowest Closing Price (as defined in Section
4(l)(iii) below) during the longer of (A) the three (3) month period commencing
on the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default and (B) the period
commencing on the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default and ending on
the date on which the Company pays the Default Amount (as defined in the Note).
The Company shall immediately notify the holder of this Warrant, in writing, of
the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Note and thereafter, of the
date of the Company's payment of the Default Amount. The number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable hereunder (the "Warrant Shares") and the Exercise Price
are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4 hereof. That certain Line of
Credit Agreement, dated as of May 29, 1997, pursuant to which this Warrant was
originally issued is referred to herein as the "Line of Credit Agreement." That
certain Promissory Note in the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars

This Warrant is subject to the following terms, provisions, and
conditions:
1. Manner of Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares.
Subject to the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the limitations
contained in Section 7 hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the holder
hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant, together with a
completed exercise agreement in the form attached hereto (the "Exercise
Agreement"), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at
the Company's principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), and upon (i)
payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire
transfer for the account of the Company, of the Exercise Price for the Warrant
Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement or (ii) if the holder is effectuating
a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 10(c) below) pursuant to Section
10(c) hereof, delivery to the Company of a written notice of an election to
effect a Cashless Exercise for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise
Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the
holder hereof or such holder's designee, as the record owner of such shares, as
of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been
surrendered, the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered, and
payment shall have been made for such shares as set forth above. Certificates
for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares
specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof
within a reasonable time, not exceeding two (2) business days, after this
Warrant shall have been so exercised (the "Delivery Period"). The certificates
so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the holder
hereof and shall be registered in the name of such holder or such other name as
shall be designated by such holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised
only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its
expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a
new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant
shall not then have been exercised.
If, at any time, a holder of this Warrant submits this Warrant, an
Exercise Agreement and payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for each of
the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement (including pursuant to a
Cashless Exercise), and the Company fails for any reason to deliver, on or prior
to the fourth business day following the expiration of the Delivery Period for
such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder is
entitled upon such exercise (an "Exercise Default"), then the Company shall pay
to the holder payments ("Exercise Default Payments") for an Exercise Default in
the amount of (a) (N/365), multiplied by (b) the difference between the Market
Price (as defined in Section 4(l)(ii) hereof) on the date the Exercise Agreement
giving rise to the Exercise Default is transmitted in accordance with Section 1
(the "Exercise Default Date") less the Exercise Price, multiplied by (c) the
number of shares of Common Stock the Company failed to so deliver in such
Exercise Default, multiplied by (d) .24, where N = the number of days from the
Exercise Default Date to the date that the Company effects the full exercise of
this Warrant which gave rise to the Exercise Default. The accrued Exercise
Default Payment for each calendar month shall be paid in cash or shall be
convertible into Common Stock at the Exercise Price, at the holder's option, as
follows:
2
(a) In the event holder elects to take such payment in cash,
cash payment shall be made to holder by the fifth (5th) day of the month
following the month in which it has accrued; and
(b) In the event holder elects to take such payment in Common
Stock, the holder may convert such payment amount into Common Stock at the
Exercise Price (as in effect at the time of conversion) at any time after the
fifth (5th) day of the month following the month in which it has accrued.
Nothing herein shall limit the holder's right to pursue actual
damages for the Company's failure to maintain a sufficient number of authorized
shares of Common Stock as required pursuant to the terms of Section 3(b) hereof,
or to otherwise issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant in
accordance with the terms hereof, and each holder shall have the right to pursue
all remedies available at law or in equity (including a decree of specific
performance and/or injunctive relief).
2. Period of Exercise. This Warrant is exercisable at any time or from
time to time on or after the date hereof and before 5:00 p.m., New York City
time on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof (the "Exercise Period").
3. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company hereby covenants and
agrees as follows:
(a) Shares to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Shares will, upon
issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully
paid, and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances.
(b) Reservation of Shares. During the Exercise Period, the
Company shall at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant upon each national
securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of
Common Stock are then listed or become listed (subject to official notice of
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant) and shall maintain, so long as any other
shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all shares of Common
Stock from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the
Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or automated
quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any
other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such
national securities exchange or automated quotation system.
3
(d) Certain Actions Prohibited. The Company will not, by
amendment of its charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and
in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of
this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this
Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and
purpose of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company (i) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock
receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in
effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate
in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(e) Successors and Assigns. This Warrant will be binding upon any
entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation, or acquisition of all
or substantially all of the Company's assets.
(f) Blue Sky Laws. The Company shall, on or before the date of
issuance of any Warrant Shares, take such actions as the Company shall
reasonably determine are necessary to qualify the Warrant Shares for, or obtain
exemption for the Warrant Shares for, sale to the holder of this Warrant upon
the exercise hereof under applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of the states
of the United States, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to
the holder of this Warrant prior to such date; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or file a
general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
4. Antidilution Provisions. During the Exercise Period, the Exercise
Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as provided in this Section 4.
In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as required
herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be rounded up
or down to the nearest cent.
(a) Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon
Issuance of Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 4(c) and 4(e)
hereof, if and whenever after the initial issuance of this Warrant, the Company
issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof is deemed to have
issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the Market Price on the date of issuance (a
"Dilutive Issuance"), then effective immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the
Exercise Price will be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:
4
E' = E x ___O + P/M____
CSDO
where:
E' = the adjusted Exercise Price;
E = the then current Exercise Price;
M = the then current Market Price (as defined in
Section 4(1)(ii));
O = the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the
Dilutive Issuance;
P = the aggregate consideration, calculated as
set forth in Section 4(b) hereof, received
by the
Company upon such Dilutive Issuance; and
CSDO = the total number of shares of Common Stock
Deemed Outstanding (as defined in Section
4(l)(i)) immediately after the Dilutive
Issuance.
(b) Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 4(a) hereof, the following
will be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company in any
manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not
immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other
securities exercisable, convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock
("Convertible Securities") (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common
Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as "Options") and
the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such
Options is less than the Market Price on the date of issuance ("Below Market
Options"), then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of all such Below Market Options (assuming full exercise,
conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities, if applicable) will, as of the
date of the issuance or grant of such Below Market Options, be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per
share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per share for which
Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Below Market Options" is
determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by
the Company as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Below
Market Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration,
if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Below Market
Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise
of such Below Market Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the
time such Convertible Securities first become exercisable, convertible or
exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of all such Below Market Options (assuming full
conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to
the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock
upon the exercise of such Below Market Options or upon the exercise, conversion
or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Below
Market Options.
5
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities.
(A) If the Company in any manner issues or sells any
Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where
the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or exchange (as
determined pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii)(B) if applicable) is less than the
Market Price on the date of issuance, then the maximum total number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible
Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the
Company for such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence,
the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise,
conversion or exchange" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any,
received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale
of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first
become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the
Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
exercise, conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(B) If the Company in any manner issues or sells any
Convertible Securities with a fluctuating conversion or exercise price or
exchange ratio (a "Variable Rate Convertible Security"), then the "price per
share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such exercise, conversion or
exchange" for purposes of the calculation contemplated by Section 4(b)(ii)(A)
shall be deemed to be the lowest price per share which would be applicable
(assuming all holding period and other conditions to any discounts contained in
such Convertible Security have been satisfied) if the Market Price on the date
of issuance of such Convertible Security was 75% of the Market Price on such
date (the "Assumed Variable Market Price"). Further, if the Market Price at any
time or times thereafter is less than or equal to the Assumed Variable Market
Price last used for making any adjustment under this Section 4 with respect to
any Variable Rate Convertible Security, the Exercise Price in effect at such
time shall be readjusted to equal the Exercise Price which would have resulted
if the Assumed Variable Market Price at the time of issuance of the Variable
Rate Convertible Security had been 75% of the Market Price existing at the time
of the adjustment required by this sentence.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. If there is a
change at any time in (i) the amount of additional consideration payable to the
Company upon the exercise of any Options; (ii) the amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise, conversion or
exchange of any Convertible Securities; or (iii) the rate at which any
Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (in
each such case, other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect
against dilution), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change will
be readjusted to the Exercise
6
Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed additional
consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time
initially granted, issued or sold.
(iv) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible
Securities. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of any Option or upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any
Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to exercise such
Option or to exercise, convert or exchange such Convertible Securities shall
have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in effect will be readjusted
to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such
expiration or termination had such Option or Convertible Securities, to the
extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination (other
than in respect of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercise or conversion thereof), never been issued.
(v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash, the
consideration received therefor for purposes of this Warrant will be the amount
received by the Company therefor, before deduction of reasonable commissions,
underwriting discounts or allowances or other reasonable expenses paid or
incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, grant or sale. In case
any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a
consideration part or all of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the
consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair market
value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of
securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
will be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. In case any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued in connection with any
merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the
amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair market value of
such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as
is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the
case may be. The fair market value of any consideration other than cash or
securities will be determined in good faith by an investment banker or other
appropriate expert of national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably
acceptable to the holder hereof, with the costs of such appraisal to be borne by
the Company.
(vi) Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment to
the Exercise Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options
or convertible securities issued and outstanding on the date hereof in
accordance with the terms of such securities as of such date; (ii) upon the
grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or
exercised under any employee benefit plan of the Company now existing or to be
implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such stock or options is
approved by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of
the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee
directors established for such purpose; (iii) upon the issuance of any warrants
in accordance with terms of the Line of Credit Agreement and the Note or upon
the exercise of such warrants; or (iv) upon the issuance of any securities in
connection with that certain rights offering in the aggregate amount of
$2,875,000 conducted on behalf of the Company by Xxxxxxx and Company Securities,
Inc.
7
(c) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company, at any
time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, subdivides (by any stock split,
stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or otherwise)
its shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then, after the date
of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the
Company, at any time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, combines (by
reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise) its shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then,
after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
(d) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted
by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
(e) Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case of any consolidation of the
Company with, or merger of the Company into any other corporation, or in case of
any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Company at
any time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, then as a condition of such
consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance, adequate provision will be made
whereby the holder of this Warrant will have the right to acquire and receive
upon exercise of this Warrant in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately
theretofore acquirable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock,
securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange
for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and
receivable upon exercise of this Warrant had such consolidation, merger or sale
or conveyance not taken place. In any such case, the Company will make
appropriate provision to insure that the provisions of this Section 4 hereof
will thereafter be applicable as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of
stock or securities thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
The Company will not effect any consolidation, merger or sale or conveyance
unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation (if other
than the Company) assumes by written instrument the obligations under this
Section 4 and the obligations to deliver to the holder of this Warrant such
shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, the holder may be entitled to acquire.
8
(f) Distribution of Assets. In case the Company shall declare or make
any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of
Common Stock as a dividend, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including
any dividend or distribution to the Company's shareholders of cash or shares (or
rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary) (a "Distribution"),
at any time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, then the holder of this
Warrant shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any
or all of the shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to receive the amount of
such assets (or rights) which would have been payable to the holder had such
holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.
(g) Notice of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event which
requires any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such case, the
Company shall give notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, which notice
shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase
or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon
exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the
facts upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified
by the chief financial officer of the Company.
(h) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment of the
Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price
in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any
such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time
and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any
adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such
Exercise Price.
(i) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to
be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a cash
adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be issuable
in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price of a share of Common
Stock on the date of such exercise.
(j) Other Notices. In case at any time:
(i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock
payable in shares of stock of any class or make any other distribution (other
than dividends or distributions payable in cash out of retained earnings
consistent with the Company's past practices with respect to declaring dividends
and making distributions) to the holders of the Common Stock;
(ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
holders of the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other
rights;
(iii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company,
or reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to,
another corporation or entity; or
9
(iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the holder of this Warrant
(a) notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record
shall be taken for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive
any such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or for determining the
holders of Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up and (b) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, notice of
the date (or, if not then known, a reasonable approximation thereof by the
Company) when the same shall take place. Such notice shall also specify the date
on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend,
distribution, or subscription rights or to exchange their Common Stock for stock
or other securities or property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or
winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice shall be given at least 30 days
prior to the record date or the date on which the Company's books are closed in
respect thereto. Failure to give any such notice or any defect therein shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii)
and (iv) above.
(k) Certain Events. If, at any time after the initial issuance of this
Warrant, any event occurs of the type contemplated by the adjustment provisions
of this Section 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, the Company
will give notice of such event as provided in Section 4(g) hereof, and the
Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise
Price and the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this
Warrant so that the rights of the holder shall be neither enhanced nor
diminished by such event.
(l) Certain Definitions.
(i) "Common Stock Deemed Outstanding" shall mean the number of
shares of Common Stock actually outstanding (not including shares of Common
Stock held in the treasury of the Company), plus (x) in the case of any
adjustment required by Section 4(a) resulting from the issuance of any Options,
the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
the Options for which the adjustment is required (including any Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of Convertible Securities issuable upon the
exercise of such Options), and (y) in the case of any adjustment required by
Section 4(a) resulting from the issuance of any Convertible Securities, the
maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of the Convertible Securities for which the adjustment is
required, as of the date of issuance of such Convertible Securities, if any.
(ii) "Market Price," as of any date, (i) means the average of the
closing bid prices for the shares of Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market by Bloomberg Financial Markets ("Bloomberg") for the five (5)
trading days immediately
10
preceding such date, or (ii) if the Nasdaq SmallCap Market is not the principal
trading market for the shares of Common Stock, the average of the last bid
prices reported by Bloomberg on the principal trading market for the Common
Stock during the same period, or, if there is no bid price for such period, the
last sales price reported by Bloomberg for such period, or (iii) if the
foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price of such security in the
over-the-counter market on the pink sheets or bulletin board for such security
as reported by Bloomberg, or if no closing bid price is so reported for such
security, the last closing trade price of such security as reported by
Bloomberg, or (iv) if market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any
of the foregoing bases, the Market Price shall be the average fair market value
as reasonably determined by an investment banking firm selected by the Company
and reasonably acceptable to the holder, with the costs of the appraisal to be
borne by the Company. The manner of determining the Market Price of the Common
Stock set forth in the foregoing definition shall apply with respect to any
other security in respect of which a determination as to market value must be
made hereunder.
(iii) "Closing Price," as of any date, (i) means the closing bid
price for the shares of Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
by Bloomberg for the trading day immediately preceding such date, or (ii) if the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market is not the principal trading market for the shares of
Common Stock, the last bid price reported by Bloomberg on the principal trading
market for the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such date,
or, if there is no bid price for such period, the last sales price reported by
Bloomberg on trading day immediately preceding such date, or (iii) if the
foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price of such security in the
over-the-counter market on the pink sheets or bulletin board for such security
as reported by Bloomberg on the trading day immediately preceding such date, or
if no closing bid price is so reported for such security, the last closing trade
price of such security as reported by Bloomberg on the trading day immediately
preceding such date, or (iv) if market value cannot be calculated as of such
date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Price shall be the fair market
value as reasonably determined by an investment banking firm selected by the
Company and reasonably acceptable to the holder, with the costs of the appraisal
to be borne by the Company.
(iv) "Common Stock," for purposes of this Section 4, includes the
Common Stock and any additional class of stock of the Company having no
preference as to dividends or distributions on liquidation, provided that the
shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall include only Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share, in respect of which this Warrant is exercisable, or shares
resulting from any subdivision or combination of such Common Stock, or in the
case of any reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or sale of
the character referred to in Section 4(e) hereof, the stock or other securities
or property provided for in such Section.
5. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder of this
Warrant or such shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof,

certificate in a name other than the holder of this Warrant.
11
6. No Rights or Liabilities as a Shareholder. This Warrant shall not
entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder
of the Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative
action by the holder hereof to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of the holder hereof, shall give rise to any
liability of such holder for the Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the
Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.
7. Transfer, Exchange, Redemption and Replacement of Warrant.
(a) Restriction on Transfer. This Warrant and the rights granted
to the holder hereof are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of
this Warrant, together with a properly executed assignment in the form attached
hereto, at the office or agency of the Company referred to in Section 7(e)
below, provided, however, that any transfer or assignment shall be subject to
the conditions set forth in Sections 7(f) and (g) hereof and to the provisions
of Sections 2(f) and (g) of the Line of Credit Agreement. Until due presentment
for registration of transfer on the books of the Company, the Company may treat
the registered holder hereof as the owner and holder hereof for all purposes,
and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(b) Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This
Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the holder hereof at the
office or agency of the Company referred to in Section 7(e) below, for new
Warrants of like tenor of different denominations representing in the aggregate
the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be
purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to
purchase such number of shares as shall be designated by the holder hereof at
the time of such surrender.
(c) Replacement of Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft, or destruction, upon
delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to
the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
(d) Cancellation; Payment of Expenses. Upon the surrender of this
Warrant in connection with any transfer, exchange, or replacement as provided in
this Section 7, this Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company. The
Company shall pay all taxes (other than securities transfer taxes) and all other
expenses (other than legal expenses, if any, incurred by the Holder or
transferees) and charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution,
and delivery of Warrants pursuant to this Section 7. The Company shall indemnify
and reimburse the holder of this Warrant for all costs and expenses (including
legal fees) incurred by such holder in connection with the enforcement of its
rights hereunder.
12
(e) Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain, at its
principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it
may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in
which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name
this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee
and each prior owner of this Warrant.
(f) Exercise or Transfer Without Registration. If, at the time of
the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any exercise, transfer, or
exchange of this Warrant, this Warrant (or, in the case of any exercise, the
Warrant Shares issuable hereunder), shall not be registered under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may
require, as a condition of allowing such exercise, transfer, or exchange, (i)
that the holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to
the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form,
substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions) to the effect that such exercise, transfer, or exchange may be
made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state
securities or blue sky laws (the cost of which shall be borne by the Company if
the Company's counsel renders such opinion and up to $250 of such cost shall be
borne by the Company if the holder's counsel renders such opinion), (ii) that
the holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter
in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be
an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the
Securities Act. With respect to any opinion to be provided pursuant to clause
(i) above, the holder shall be entitled to request that the Company's counsel
render such opinion and the Company shall cause its counsel to render such
opinion if requested by the holder.
(g) Additional Restrictions on Exercise or Transfer.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Warrant shall
not be exercisable by a holder hereof to the extent (but only to the extent)
that, if exercisable by such holder, such holder would beneficially own in
excess of 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. To the extent the
above limitation applies, the determination of whether and to what extent this
Warrant shall be exercisable vis-a-vis other securities owned by such holder
shall be in the sole discretion of the holder and submission of this Warrant for
full or partial exercise shall be deemed to be the holder's determination of
whether and the extent to which this Warrant is exercisable, in each case
subject to such aggregate percentage limitation. No prior inability to exercise
the Warrant pursuant to this Section shall have any effect on the applicability
of the provisions of this Section with respect to any subsequent determination
of exerciseability. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13D-G thereunder.
The restrictions contained in this Section 7(g) may not be amended without the
consent of the holder of this Warrant and the holders of a majority of the
Company's then outstanding Common Stock. The first holder of this Warrant, by
taking and holding the same, represents to the Company that such holder is
acquiring this Warrant for investment only and not with a view to the
distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales that are exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or sales registered under
the Securities Act.
13
8. Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the
terms of this Warrant shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return
receipt requested) or delivered personally or by courier or by confirmed
telecopy, and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if
mailed, or upon receipt or refusal of receipt, if delivered personally or by
courier or confirmed telecopy, in each case addressed to a party. The addresses
for such communications shall be:
If to the Company:

and if to the holder, at such address as such holder shall have provided in
writing to the Company, or at such other address as each such party furnishes by
notice given in accordance with this Section 8.
9. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to
contracts made and to be performed in the State of Delaware. The Company
irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the United States federal courts
located in the City of New York in the State of New York, in any suit or
proceeding based on or arising under this Warrant and irrevocably agrees that
all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in such
courts. The Company irrevocably waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such suit or proceeding. The Company agrees that service of
process upon the Company mailed by first class mail shall be deemed in every
respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit or
proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect the holder's right to serve process in
any other manner permitted by law. The Company agrees that a final
non-appealable judgment in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other
lawful manner.
10. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendments. This Warrant and any provision hereof may only be
amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the holder hereof.
14
(b) Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several
Sections of this Warrant are inserted for purposes of reference only, and shall
not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.
(c) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Warrant, if the resale of the Warrant Shares by the holder is
not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, this Warrant may be exercised at any time after the first (1st)
anniversary of the date hereof until the end of the Exercise Period, by
presentation and surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal
executive offices with a written notice of the holder's intention to effect a
cashless exercise, including a calculation of the number of shares of Common
Stock to be issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms hereof (a
"Cashless Exercise"). In the event of a Cashless Exercise, in lieu of paying the
Exercise Price in cash, the holder shall surrender this Warrant for that number
of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares
to which it would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the difference between the then current Market Price per share of the
Common Stock and the Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the
then current Market Price per share of Common Stock.
11. Registration of Warrant Shares.
(a) As used in this Section 11, the following terms shall have
the following meanings:
(i) "Investors" means the holder of this Warrant and any
transferees or assignees hereof in accordance with Section 7 hereof.
(ii) "register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a Registration Statement or
Statements in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under
the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a
continuous basis ("Rule 415"), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness
of such Registration Statement by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC").
(iii) "Registrable Securities" means the Warrant Shares
issued or issuable upon exercise hereof and any shares of capital stock issued
or issuable, from time to time (with any adjustments), on or in exchange for or
otherwise with respect to the foregoing.
(iv) "Registration Statement" means a registration statement
of the Company under the Securities Act.
(b) In connection with any registration of the resale of the
Registrable Securities by Investors, the Company shall have the following
obligations:
15
(i) The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose
Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement covering the
resale of the Registrable Securities and its legal counsel (i) promptly after
the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received
by the Company, one copy of the Registration Statement and any amendment
thereto, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or
supplement thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of a prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such
other documents as such Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
(ii) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such
event, the Company shall notify each Investor of the happening of any event, of
which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in
the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and use its best
efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or amendment to the Registration
Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number
of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor as such Investor may
reasonably request.
(iii) The Company shall use reasonable commercial efforts to
prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a
Registration Statement, and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the
withdrawal of such order at the earliest practicable moment and to notify each
Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of an
underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order
and the resolution thereof.
(iv) The Company shall permit a single firm of counsel
designated by the Investors to review the Registration Statement and all
amendments and supplements thereto a reasonable period of time prior to their
filing with the SEC, and not file any document to which such counsel reasonably
objects.
(v) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any
disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless
(i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state
securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid
or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the
release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order
from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, (iv) such
information has been made generally available to the public other than by
disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement, or (v) such Investor
consents to the form and content of any such disclosure. The Company agrees that
it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an
Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to such Investor prior
to making such disclosure, and allow the Investor, at its expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order
for, such information.
16
(c) In connection with the registration of the resale of Registrable
Securities by Investors, the Investors shall have the following obligations:
(i) Each Investor shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the
intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall
be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities
and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the
Company may reasonably request. At least three (3) business days prior to the
first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall
notify each Investor of the information the Company requires from each such
Investor.
(ii) Each Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the
Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably
requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the
Registration Statement hereunder.
(iii) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice
from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Sections
11(b)(ii) and (iii) hereof, such Investor will immediately discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement
covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies
of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Sections 11(b)(ii) and
(iii) hereof, and, if so directed by the Company, such Investor shall deliver to
the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the
Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in such Investor's possession,
of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of
receipt of such notice.
(d) All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts
and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to this Section 11, including, without limitation, all
registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees and
the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be borne by the
Company. The Investors shall be responsible for all cost incurred by them or
their advisors and other professionals (including, without limitation, their
legal counsel, accountants and investment bankers) in connection with any
registration hereunder.
(e) In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a
Registration Statement under this Section 11:
(i) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) each Investor who holds such Registrable
Securities, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners, members, employees,
agents and each person who controls any Investor within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"), if any, (each, an "Indemnified Person"),
against any joint or several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
(collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory
or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect
thereof, "Claims") to which any of them may become subject insofar as such
Claims arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue
17
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration
Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date
of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended
or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any
material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state
securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or
sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i)
through (iii) being, collectively, "Violations"). Subject to the restrictions
set forth in Section 11(e)(iii) with respect to the number of legal counsel, the
Company shall reimburse the Investors and each such underwriter or controlling
person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any
reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement
contained in this Section 11(e)(i): (i) shall not apply to a Claim arising out
of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person
expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or
supplement thereto; (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the
Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (iii) with
respect to any preliminary prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any
Indemnified Person if the untrue statement or omission of material fact
contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the
prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such corrected prospectus was
timely made available by the Company pursuant hereto, and the Indemnified Person
was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the
use giving rise to a Violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such
advice, used it. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall
survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors.
(ii) In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is
participating, each such Investor agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify,
hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner set forth in
Section 11(e)(i) hereof, the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who signs the Registration Statement, its employees, agents and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any other stockholder
selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any of its
directors or officers or any person who controls such stockholder or underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and
together with an Indemnified Person, an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim
to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any
Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such
Violation occurs
18
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration
Statement; and subject to Section 11(e)(iii) such Investor will reimburse any
legal or other expenses (promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and
payable) reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 11(e)(ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section
11(e)(ii) and under Section 11(f) for only that amount as does not exceed the
net proceeds actually received by such Investor as a result of the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity
shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or
on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the
Registrable Securities by the Investors. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this
Section 11(e)(ii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to
the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of
material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely
basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, and the Indemnified
Party failed to utilize such corrected prospectus.
(iii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 11(e) of notice of the commencement of any
action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to made against any
indemnifying party under this Section 11(e), deliver to the indemnifying party a
written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall
have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so
desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume
control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the
case may be; provided, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be
entitled to assume such defense and an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be
paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel
retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding or the actual or potential defendants in, or targets
of, any such action include both the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party
and the indemnifying party and any such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
reasonably determines that there may be legal defenses available to such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition
to those available to such indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall pay
for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons or the
Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such legal counsel shall be selected by
Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities included
in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates, if the Company is not
a party entitled to indemnification hereunder, or by the Company, if the Company
is a party entitled to indemnification hereunder, as applicable. The failure to
deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any
19
such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 11(e), except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced in its ability to
defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 11(e) shall be
made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred
and is due and payable.
(f) To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying
party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the
maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be
liable under Section 11(e) to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided,
however, that (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the
maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards
set forth in Section 11(e), (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (iii) contribution
(together with any indemnification or other obligations hereunder) by any seller
of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of
proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
